"I, too" by Langston Hughes by John Pickersgill https://padlet.com/jpickersgill2/dzplw5ovkeg6 Made with an open mind en-us 2019-08-26 14:22:57 UTC 2021-09-03 20:29:00 UTC hello@padlet.com "I,too" By Langston Hughes jpickersgill2 https://padlet.com/jpickersgill2/dzplw5ovkeg6/wish/377112397 I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.

They send me to eat in the kitchen

When company comes,

But I laugh,

And eat well,

And grow strong.

Tomorrow,

I’ll be at the table

When company comes.

Nobody’ll dare

Say to me,

“Eat in the kitchen,”

Then.

Besides,

They’ll see how beautiful I am

And be ashamed—

I, too, am America.
